The Heritage

Story

We are a New Zealand owned and operated business. Doing it our way, here at Mohaka River Farm in Hawke's Bay.

Our background is in traditional post and beam (mortise and tenon) joinery. From selecting the logs we fell in local plantations, to saw milling, drying, and ultimately making every part of our post and beam timber frame barn homes, trusses and joinery by hand - we do it all ourselves right here on the farm.

You'll find our timber frames and trusses in beautiful legacy homes around New Zealand, leading wineries like Rippon and Black Estate, through to home pavillions, secondary dwellings and New Zealand's first passive house.

We live and breathe timber. We typically source locally grown Douglas-fir and Macrocarpa but also enjoy working with the various exotic species grown right here in New Zealand, from high-grade Elm to Japanese Cedar and English Oak.

Longstanding relationships with suppliers of early settler period antique barns from the U.S.A. gives our clients the choice to use reclaimed timber from barn homes originally built and lived in several hundred years ago.

Building a home is special. We cherish the opportunity to play a small role in helping other New Zealanders forge their own futures.
